[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1661799, member: 54178"] I'm also buying a Magnetospeed to know my various loss velocities. At 1st I was going to just use factory loads B/C it's for hunting, not competition. But now I'm getting the itch to reload for it, so another set of Redding Precision dies may be in the future. For now it's Hornady 140 gr. and 147 gr. ELD-M and maybe the 143 gr. ELD-X factory ammo. [B]WEDGY[/B], I think with 143gr. up to 150 gr.+ bullets I'll get to maybe 2,930 fps for a good node. We'll see. There's a special powder some are using that gives good accuracy but it's in short supply. I have some H 1000 too. And I may try some Hornady 130 gr. bullets B/C I get good accuracy with them in my 6.5 CM Ruger Precision Rifle. Speed is not my goal, just very good accuracy. I will not use the provided Browning radial brake but just the thread cap, so all accuracy testing will be done with that. [B]DUSTY[/B], Good advice, even if it is phonetically spelled, like a 10th grade student I once taught. ;o) I won't say anything to her if you guys don't. BTW, MY NEW BUSHNELL LRTS SCOPE JUST ARRIVED! Ooooo, "New Item Buzz"! I've decided to mount it on my current X-Bolt Pro just to see if I can shoot a good square and tall target. If all checks out I'll keep it. Eric B. OK, I looked the LRTS scope over and I really like the illuminated reticle. Very clean and it has 10 brightness adjustments. Plus it uses the same coin battery that my little backpacking headlamp uses. Also the glass is very good for the price of the scope. [/QUOTE]
